How to change your recovery account

I wouldn't go about changing it unless you have a real reason to, I see this only applying to a small group of people but there has been no documentation about it and many people have asked.

Thank you for your info. I do think that It is not wise to change that after all I am not a technical person.

not explicitly mentioned: the new recovery account is active once the last change_recovery_account operation was 30 days ago. If you issue another change_recovery_accountin the 30 days period the first change will never be active and the 30 days start again from the second operation.

It might sound stupid and I'm sorry in advance, but what "How to change your recovery account" means? do you talk about recovering the account or what?

$0.00

[-]

themarkymark (78) · 7 years ago

If you forgot your password, there is a recovery process. There is an account used as your recovery agent for most people this is either @steem or @anonsteem.

You can change this, but it isn't documented anywhere and been asked a few times about how to do it.

yairdd (67) · 7 years ago

So I can basically put a witness I know as the one who will be my recovery agent?

[-]

themarkymark (78) · 7 years ago

If you are not sure, then you likely don't need to worry about it. Just use the default @steem recovery process.

Hi @themarkymark, has anyone you know tried this before? I lost my password but my mobile phone remembers it thats why i am still logged on and can still post however, if theres a need to input my password, I cant do it as i dont have any copy/backup :(

$0.00

[-]

themarkymark (78) · 7 years ago

You need your current password to change it, and you need your most recent password to do recovery. As far as I know, there isn't any other option. Forgotten password is not an option.

This is old now, but I see people post this problem of "I forgot my password but my phone remembers"...

I hope you've figured out since then that if your phone remembers the password to any of your accounts that you forgot, you can just go find out what that password is from your phone's password storage... :)
